I’m 49 years old and I remember when this song first aired on MTv’s Headbanger’s Ball. I was in high school at the time. My mind was blown the first time I saw it. Rap was just starting to gain traction outside of the black community, especially by the metal kids. We didn’t know what we were looking at, almost like we were getting away with something. I have so much love for this song and Aerosmith & Run DMC’s “Walk This Way” before it. They opened the doors for so many bands and styles to follow!

Back in the day after this came out Anthrax and Public Enemy did a tour together. Talk about 2 different crowds that people didn't think would get along. Quite the contrary. Thrash metal fans jammin through a Public Enemy set and then the other half, the Public Enemy crowd jammin through a thrash metal set. It was an awesome mixing of worlds and people and the shows were amazing. I was lucky enough to catch one.

This was huge in the metal community when it dropped. These guys even toured together and had both fanbases coming together without issue in a time when people were trying to divide the music.

Anthrax - Among The Living. It's their equivalent of 'Tallica's Puppets. All killer, no filler. And this track - 1991

There's a history of Metal and Rap crossing over. From the Judgement Night soundtrack Slayer and Ice-T, Biohazard and Onyx, Faith No More and Boo-Yaa Tribe. Properly worth a look.

This song changed music and that there's no color or race. Chuck D and Flava Flave had a very Black Millitant vibe, so it was big that they did a colab with one of the Big 4 thrash bands. To this day it's still an Amazing jam

I'm 50 and when this came out I was blown away. I learned every word and still sing along to it. This song is fun as hell and important as rap and rock go.

I'm 52 and I've been listening to Anthrax since they came out in the early 80s.

It was first released as a single in February 1988. The song was later included in Public Enemy’s album “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” which was released on April 14, 1988 ..Anthrax and Public Enemy collaborated again to release a new version of the song in 1991... i still have this on vinyl to this day.

The movie Judgement night had a brilliant sound track where metal and rap artists collaborated. My favourite off that was Faith no more and boo ya tribe "another body murdered" ICE T also has a metal band...called body count, worth checking that out.

Both Anthrax and Public Enemy were from NYC areas. Charlie Benante (Anthrax's drummer) writes all their music, and is a huge fan of a lot of genres. Scott Ian was the founder of Anthrax with one of his friends, and he loved rap. Frank Bello is Charlie's nephew, and also shares same interests. They were friends with Beastie Boys, and they wrote a rap song that was similar to Beastie Boys style, and was supposed to have Beastie Boys on it, but the scheduling didn't work. Scott Ian was a huge fan of Public Enemy, and was known to wear a Public Enemy t-shirt on stage often. Chuck D was told about it, and saw them play live in NYC area at some point, and saw Scott wearing the shirt. He decided to name drop them in the song Bring The Noise. Anthrax loved it. Then they started trying to work through Public Enemy's management to meet up. Chuck D just heard some group was trying to cover one of their songs, and didn't know it was Anthrax. They didn't want it done at first, then they found out it was Anthrax, and they thought it could be interesting. Charlie wrote the music, Anthrax sent it over and Chuck D loved it. They tried to work it out to rerecord the vocals, with both Anthrax and Public Enemy for a new version of Bring The Noise. It didn't work out, scheduling wise, again. Anthrax was able to get the Public Enemy vocal tracks pieced together to match the beat of the music Charlie wrote. In Scott Ian's book, he said it took a good amount of work to get it to match right. After the song was released, as a single for both bands, it was a huge hit. Then they were like, "what now?" Anthrax approached Public Enemy about doing a joint coheadlining tour. They did a full tour celebrating rap and metal. Chuck D said the first show, they felt great, they put on a great show. Then they watched Anthrax perform. At the time, rap wasn't getting the big production of metal and rock bands for tours. Anthrax had a full team, lights, and stage setup to take playing live to a full on performance experience. Chuck D was like, "WTF???? We're going to get blown off the stage every night!" He went to them, and asked them about it. Anthrax said, "you don't have a light guy that choreographs your show?" Chuck D was like, "what?" He said they always had a "guy," just some guy that would fill in for whatever they needed, so he had that guy go to Anthrax's light guy and learn how he sets up the performance, and then went back to Public Enemy, and set up their performances. Chuck D said from then on, they learned every night, and got to where they held their own, every night on tour and was so thankful Anthrax did that, when they could have just let them flounder. But both groups wanted the best possible show every night, and worked together to do it. Even now, Anthrax plays Bring The Noise often, or their other rap song, I'm The Man. Sometimes Chuck D shows up and performs it with them. When Public Enemy was inducted into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame, Scott Ian and Charlie were there, and played Bring The Noise with Public Enemy.

Senser...states of mind...criminally overlooked by the masses..their first album stacked up is immense...if you dont react to it..at least give them a listen..you wont regret it...

Anthrax released a song in the late 80's called "I'm the Man" that was a rapping metal song. Public Enemy released "Bring the Noise" on an album (pre-Anthrax influence). The line "Wax is for Anthrax," was the catalyst for this genre-bending, amazing remake. Anthrax in the late 80's/ early 90's is an often overlooked gem. Indians, I am the Law, the entire Persistence of Time album...just amazing thrash metal.

Anthrax was one of the bands that first combined rap and metal with "I'm the Man". This jam is probably one of the best rock/rap collabs to exist.

I actually think one of Anthrax's later albums is their best. Worship Music is colossal.

This is high school for me and im 50 this was the 1st metal hip hop collaboration ever and it is basically what kicked off what became Nu Metal 🤘

Scott Ian kept wearing Public Enemy tees on stage and in videos. Kept asking the band to team up in the late 80's When they did they gave us this and it was the second rap metal record ever. Aerosmith and Run DMC were the first but Anthrax and Enemy created the genre of rap metal which insired the more 90's bands of Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. It was that groundbreaking no one knew what to make of it but everyone who liked it knew where their new sound was. I remember seeing this on TV in the late 80's. It just gave hair metal a good kicking and then it went on kicking it until it encountered Grunge and from there it was game over.

Public Enemy’s “It takes a nation of millions to hold us back” one of the best albums ever released.

This WAS an influence on the later bands that you mentioned. I wanna say it was about 1991, without Googling. I was in high school and played it on my radio show. My favorite Anthrax is "Antisocial" and I think you would like "Got the time".

Nice pick on this one!! This song really epitomizes how great different genres of music can blend together sometimes. Other Anthrax songs that you should check out are "I Am The Law", "Caught in a Mosh", and "Indians"

I saw this live at Madison Square Garden with Slayer, Megadeth & Anthrax headlining since NYC is their home town & they brought out Public Enemy. What a time to be alive. I miss those days. There were a lot of rap & metal collars in the early 90s. Slayer &! Ice T, Onyx & Biohazard, House of Pain & Helmet, Faith No Nore and Booya Tribe are some to name a few. But going back to Anthrax you should do “Among the Luving” since you like that heavy crunchy sound.

The soundtrack to "Judgement Night", a movie from the 90s, is a colection of hip hop and metal colabs.

You have no idea the impact this made to me and many others. When I was a teenager, I thought rap had the same spirit as punk and metal. To see them come together was beautiful. Music and food can solve almost any differences. If you look at the history of this colab, you’ll see the impact it made. I was lucky enough to see public enemy and anthrax tour. Was insane and a social experiment that lives on with strength to this day. Love everyone. We all have way more n common than not.

Saw Anthrax and PE tour together when I was in High School at Irvine Meadows, CA (there's actually a live video of that show). When they closed the show with this song and brought everyone that played that night (openers and all) on stage, it was WILD.

MOLLY BOY!!! I actually got to see them tour together. The show was awesome. The mix of hip hop fans and metal fans sharing the love of music was insane. One of the greatest experiences ever

Probably not popular enough for a reaction, but the entire soundtrack for the movie Judgement Night is metal rap collabs. Pearl Jam and Cypress Hill, Ice T and Slayer, Onyx and Biohazard.

There was a whole album released in the 90s called "Judgement Night" that was a collaboration of Rock and Metal acts with Rap and Hip Hop artists. It was the soundtrack to the movie of the same name. You should definitely give it a listen. My personal favourite track from that album was a collaboration between "Slayer" and"Ice T" called "Disorder". Give it a burst. I know you won't be disappointed!

Anthrax - Finale. and Intro to reality then straight into the next song belly of the beast.

When this video got dropped on MTV it was a game changer. In my group of friends we had metal heads and rap fans and everything in-between and this video was a party favorite for years, along with Run DMC and Aerosmith.

The Rap/Rock and Rap/Metal crossover started in 1986 with Walk this Way by Aerosmith and Run D.M.C. and 1988 with Bring the Noise by Anthrax and Public Enemy, In 1990 Ice-T forms his Metal band, Body Count, and 1993 we got the Judgement Night soundtrack. These, in my opinion, are the pioneers of the Nu Metal genre and they rarely get the credit they deserve.

I met Scott Ian from Anthrax once at a concert a very laid-back and chill guy was super nice he signed all the autographs we asked him for

The outro on this song is beast.

I was 16 years old when this first came out (“Attack If The Killer B’s”). This was meant as a collaboration after Anthrax (1 of the Big 4 in thrash metal) had come out with their rap parody song “I’m The Man” in 1987. When I was in high school, I ran with the metalhead crowd and Anthrax was one of the bands that we collectively loved. This song was a major leap in music because prior to this, the rap crowd and the metal crowd were mortal enemies. This bridged that divide, like Lenny did with punk and metal.

That outro beat was a hip hop staple and came from James Brown and Maceo Parker’s Funky Drummer. I think it is on the album In The Jungle Groove.

Some other early metal experimentation in rap was by a band called Stuck Mojo. Songs like "Not Promised Tomorrow," "Pigwalk," and "Mental Meltdown" would be worth giving attention to, plus you might be the only react channel of your kind checking those songs out.

The big four did a world tour together, at the end of the show all four bands bands played a cover of ‘am i evil.’

1991. I was a sophmore in highschool. This was aired on Headbangers Ball. I'll never forget seeing this for the first time it's so good.

Anthrax was my first ever "favorite band" (started with metal, why not) and some 8-10 years later this was the song that started my transition from a total metalhead to rapper-metalhead in the 90's. A piece of history. Great choices, man!

It’s been so many years but I still know every word of this amazing song!

"I feel like this could have been a good influence for bands like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park." Well...yeah. This is it man. This and Run DMC's cover of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" were what kicked it all off man. What you just watched was the birth of everything that came after.

This actually a cover. PE did it on their It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back album. Chuck found out that Scott Ian(the bald guy)would wear PE shirts on stage at Anthrax shows & shouted them out in the original version of this song(Wax is for Anthrax). They became friends & teamed up for this version that came out on their Apocalypse 91 album as well as the Judgement Night soundtrack

I went to see anthrax and Public Enemy when they toured together for this collaboration. 1992…ish Anthrax, among the living is a must.

Saw these guys at the Bring the Noise tour in 1991 in Oakland California. The lineup was Anthrax, Public Enemy, Primus and young black teenagers. Our show was cut short due to the Red Cross needing the arena to house the victims of the Oakland Firestorm that was happening at the same time. I remember hanging out in the parking lot before the show where we could see the smoke just across the freeway and when we left all the vehicles had soot and debris on them from the fires.

This got so many of my hip hop mates into metal. i was already on the PE train. Judgement Night soundtrack bruv. Metal and Rap collabs from early/mid 90s. Slayer/Ice-T doing an Exploited (UK punk) song.

We can thank Mr. Scott Ian for this amazing collaboration. He is a huge fan of P.E. A complete ice breaker of a clashing (in a good way) of artists. Much love to Anthrax and Public Enemy.

Anthrax and Aerosmith were the first to mix rap and metal/rock that we know about. There were obscure bands during the same time, some NY and East Coast (US) hard core, etc. I could lead you into the deepest rabbbit hole with your music searches.

Released un 1991. The bald guy rapping at the end is the guitarist from Anthrax. A few years after this there was a movie call Judgement Night and the whole soundtrack was metal and rap bands doing colabs. Worth finding the soundtrack for a listen. Anthrax were always the light hearted of the big 4. Always up for a laugh and tonnes of energy.

And glad that you got around to listening to some Anthrax. They've got a lot more of a sense of humour than many of the thrash bands, or at least more of one that comes through in their songs. Also, Scott Ian (the guitarist with the beard and shaved head) is married to Meat Loaf's daughter. Apparently, when Meat Loaf was considering having some rap on one of his tracks, but wasn't sure how to find a rapper, it was suggested that he give his son-in-law a call, given that Scott is still good friends with Chuck D from Public Enemy.

These two were the the biggest bands of their genres,thrash and rap,great separately awesome together!💘💘💘🤘🤘🤘

Saw a live show with both of them. Half of the people metal dudes, the other half Hip Hopper. They didn't even mix in the venue. But when they played this song all together there was a huge Metalhead/Hip Hopper party going on. It was so funny.

Yes! Some Anthrax at last! I'm guessing you'll enjoy this one since you're into hip hop, but don't expect every Anthrax song to sound like this since almost all their other stuff is straight up thrash. They did do an album called Attack Of The Killer Bs though that was more punk/hardcore and featured some joke songs too, including another metal/hip hop song called I'm The Man.

One of the 4 founding Fathers of Thrash!! This ones a bit too much maybe for the first time listening. But...He can take it!!😊🤘

You have to check out the judgment night soundtrack. All collabs between metal and rap and I love every bit of it.

This was one of the sound tracks of THPS2, incredible game and soundtracks!

Loved when they toured together. Anthrax and Public Enemy both played their sets then ended with this song. Not only bringing 2 genres of music together and bringing 2 crowds of people together that otherwise wouldnt have been together. And yes, they influenced the rap metal, or metal rap, whatever you call it. Look into blood eagle wings for some newer anthrax. Or come caught in a mosh for some older anthrax.

Scott Ian (bald guy in video and main man behind Anthrax) was always a huge hip hop fan. Beastie boys had a song on Paul's Boutique called 'Looking down the barrel of a gun' with a very metal riff and Anthrax covered it on the Beavis and Butthead movie. Also another OG, Ice-T, had a metal band called Body Count and they recently (2017) Did a massive cover of 'Rain in blood' by Slayer and killed it. Hiphip and Metal has much deeper ties than most are aware of.

Back in New York City in the 1980s, there weren't a lot of clubs that would book hardcore/punk and rap shows because of the reputations the fans had for violence/fights/damage, etc. occurring. Club owners were nervous and avoided booking those bands/rap acts. There were a select few clubs that would book both genres, and it was this reason the members of these music scenes would play these same clubs and even played shows with each other. So the hardcore punk and rap scenes formed close friendships in New York City way before the whole Rock/Rap thing exploded in the mainstream. It wasn't uncommon to see Murphy's Law and Public Enemy share the stage, on the same night. It was really cool to grow up there and be a part of that. Anthrax had ties to the the hardcore scene in New York City. They played shows with many hardcore punk bands before they blew up, and they formed the same sort of bonds with the rap bands. To their credit, they were one of the first metal bands to actually record with rap acts, before they released their own breakout hit, the rap metal song called: "I'm The Man". They recorded with UTFO, which is a well-known rap band in the 80s. You can search UTFO and Anthrax on KZfaq. You'll find the UTFO/Anthrax record called "Lethal". UTFO was famous for their song Roxanne. It was a great time back then. And I was lucky to have witnessed it.

Thank Ian for convincing Public Enemy that this would work. So good!!

Check out "Stuck Mojo....Not promised tomorrow" Love the channel, always great to see someone discover another genre, "bionic jive...ricochet" is also good

2 legend bands creating magic. Public Enemy is such an awesome band, loved them in the 90s and had the privilege to see them live in London a few years ago opening for Prodigy. And Anthrax, wow, amazing heavy metal band with the rare quality of not taking themselves seriously, just having fun (have a listen to “I’m the Man” and “Friggin in the Riggin”). If you enjoy a mixture of musical genres, you might enjoy Faith No More. Thank you for another awesome video and a beautiful trip down memory lane ❤

The first song that Anthrax did as a rap song was a song called I'm the Man. They wanted to show that rap and metal can mix

Anthrax started the whole rap-rock thing in 88 or so when they did the I’m the Man EP. It’s an original rap song but played with the band. If you check it out do the Def Uncensored version. All other versions are just alternate remixes, and they’ve remixed it a few times over the years. Public Enemy noticed that Scott from Anthrax was wearing Public Enemy shirts in videos and photos and they gave a shout-out to Anthrax in their song Bring the Noise. This version is a cover, which Anthrax did for a compilation of B-sides, and they invited Public Enemy to appear on it. This was in 91. In 1993, the Judgement Night soundtrack came out, and the gimmick there was that metal/alternative bands would collaborate with rap bands. Slayer and Ice-T did a song, and Onyx and Biohazard had a song as well. These two were important as they were like two sides of the same coin. And then by the end of the 90s all kinds of bands who grew up with both rap and metal started mixing them together. But Anthrax was the first.

I was lucky enough to see Anthrax and Public Enemy play live together in 1991. This song was the highlight of the night.

Scott Ian..(Guitar Player)...Alwys Been Huge Fan of Hip hop...Rick Rubin(Producer)...and All them go Way Back ..rest is History

Yes, you exactly nailed it!! Anthrax was basically the influence of everyone from Limp Bizkit to Korn, Alien Ant Farm and for sure Linkin Park.

I bought this on 12" back in the day. Yes, I'm old 😄

Tunnnnneeeeeeee i seen anthrax with public enemy back in 1991. amazing band love anthrax

BTW you NEED to listen to the entire soundtrack of the movie Judgment Night if you like the rap/rock mix. Each song paired a huge rap and huge metal/grunge/rock band of the time. Everyone song is AMAZING!!! Biohazard and Onyx!! Then look up Ice T’s Body Count.

These 2 Bands broke the rule with Rap and Metal the go well together 🤘💖🎤💖🥁🎸🎸🎸🔊🔊🔊🔊🔉🔉🔊🔊🔉🔊🔉🔊🔉✅💯☠️🤘🔉🔊🔉🔊🔊🔉 Bring The FQKN NOIZE

Anthrax was the first metal band to ever do a "metal rap" with the song "I'm the man" (to which Beastie boys were supposed to make a guest appearance) but scheduling prevented the Beasties, so Anthrax themselves did the rap. they in a round about way influenced bands such as Faith no more to do the song Epic. Origins of rap/metal..

A great Anthrax album to react to is Among the Living. 🤘🤘

Anthrax’s “In My World” has been one of my favorite songs of all time since it came out. Please react to that one

I'm 52, this was definitely the 90s and both genres were on my playlist. More collabs? The first was Run DMC with Aerosmith doing Walk This Way, Rage Against The Machine with Cypress Hill doing How I could Just Kill.A Man, I think Ice Cube did some stuff with Korn and Ice T actually did some thrash metal outside of his rapping and Was the lead singer of Body Count. Check em out.

This was 1988. Now, you’re ready for “Just Another Victim” by HELMET & HOUSE OF PAIN!!!

Been going to Anthrax shows for years. Saw them last year and it was the first time I got to hear this live. Granted it was just Anthrax no Public Enemy but I lost my shit so hard. It was practically a religious experience to finally, after listening to this song for literally decades, to bellow "BRING THE NOISE!" at the top of my lungs.

You are gonna love "Deaf Dumb Blind" by Clawfinger then. As well as other european bands like Humungous Fungus, HBlockx, Senser, and certainly entire Judgement Night soundtrack. All music 92-95 was dope.

I saw both these bands in 1991 in Oakland,ca. they got together on stage and played this and the place went nuts. Awesome night, except for the fact Oakland was burning to the ground.

I'm an old dude, 53, and the oldest rock/rap fusion I can think of is She's On It by the Beastie Boys. In fact, it's the first rap song by The Beastie Boys and predates the album, Licensed to Ill. ;)

Rap and Rock were the best matchup fusion ever , from Run DMC to The Beastie Boys to Public Enemy

I remember when this came out in my late teens. Even being a teenager metalhead, I knew this was dope. On your own go back and watch the BET music awards live performance

I'm no music history expert, but having lived through this era, here's my POV: Youth culture had been elevated in the '60s and '70s, and by the '80s we had things like music videos, cable TV and new ways to reach wider audiences than ever before. And although it seemed that rap was just a "black thing" and metal was a "white thing", it actually turned out that both genres had a lot of the same social commentary and appealed to the same types of attitudes. So it was inevitable that those artists were always going to try to find ways to come together. And it really worked for a lot of people, and is still happening today. It might be a bit more formulaic and over-produced now, but still, whatever brings people together is the right answer.

Public Enemy's "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" is an old school rap song that might just blow your mind. IT GOES HARD AF!

Both artists were highly respected outlaws of their genres and now enjoy iconic status. This song was probably the first rap/thrash collab that alot of people heard. The vidoe showing them all performing and a crowd of hip hop/metal heads all getting down together really adds to the fun. The only other near examples to predate it would be RUN DMC/Aerosmith "Walk This Way" but that was more rap/rock/funk. Both this and Walk This Way are regarded as some of the greatest genre collabs ever made.

Protest the hero - sequoia throne 🤘😎🤘

another one that I grew up with, and this will surprise you, was Sir Mix-A-Lot (yes...Mr. Baby Got Back) teamed up with a metal band called Metal Church and did a rap/rock version of Black Sabbath's Iron Man (with totally different lyrics)

A band I think you'd really enjoy is Body Count. It's the metal band that old school rapper Ice-T put together mainly so his buddy Ernie C could shred, and it's amazing. There's a certain degree of hip-hop to it, but they definitely lean more towards metal.

Huge congrats on 30K!

If this crossover stuff is your jam, I recommend you take a listen to the soundtrack of the movie Judgment Night. It's a whole album of rock/metal bands paired with hip hop artists. Really cool stuff.

Wes Borland (Limp Bizkit guitarrist) said in an interview he was actually inspired by this exact song, so u hit the nail on the head with that observation.

They killed this shit! I am a metal guy and I rock to this all the time.!

Check out the Judgement Night soundtrack from 1993. It was groundbreaking! The entire soundtrack are collaborations between rock and hip hop artists.

The first proper metal/hip hop crossover track I remember hearing was "Every Day's A Holiday" by Mordred. Never seen anyone react to that tune, but it's a banger and it dropped years before "Bring The Noise".

So much fun! Even before this, Anthrax did another semi-rap song called "I'm the Man." it's great!!!

Ahhh my childhood returns. That whole Anthrax album was excellent.

Find the soundtrack for the movie "Judgement Night". Its all collabs like this and its pretty spectacular.

Additionally...this was THE #2 collab between rock and hip hop...#1 was 1986s collab between Aerosmith and RUN DMC...it probably sounds cheesy to modern ears, but it was something that changed popular culture...it was the first of it's kind...after I heard it, being a hard rock/ metal head, I was ALL IN on hip hop...never looked back

I knew you'd dig this. And as for collabs, they *invented* it. I remember when this song debuted on The (Headbanger's) Ball. Nobody held the hip-hop flag higher than Anthrax, and when these two bands came together, the music world exploded. People loved this and couldn't get enough, and rightly so. Next thing you know, there were bands like Onyx and Biohazard and down the line, your beloved Linkin Park. This is where they learned that sh*t.

I was around back then. Yes, this got regular play in my car... daily!

One of my all time fav collaborations...love watching your music education & your reactions mollyboy...cheers man👍🍻🇦🇺
